NECKTIE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 569,498, dated October13, 1896.

Application filed April 24, 1896. Serial No. 588,942. (No model.)

T0 @ZZ whom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, MAYER JAcoBowITz, a citizen of the United States,residing at Keyport, in the county of Monmouth and State of New Jersey,haveinvented a new and useful Necktie, of which the following is aspeciiication.

This invention has relation to neckwear, and aims to devise aconstruction which will enable neckties to be manufactured cheaply ofpaper or like material suliiciently stiff to obviate the use of liningand without requiring stitching', the article presenting the samegeneral appearance as the more costly goods.

For a full understanding of the merits and advantages of the inventionreference is to be had to the accompanying drawings and the followingdescription.

The improvement is susceptible of various changes in theformfproportion, and the ininor details of construction withoutdeparting from the principle or sacriiicing any of the advantagesthereof, and to a 'full disclosure of the invention an adaptationthereof is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is aface view of a necktie constructed in accordance with this invention.Fig. 2 is a rear view thereof, showing the body differently formed. Fig.3 is a detail view of the blank or pattern from which the necktie isformed.

Corresponding' and like parts are referred to in the followingdescription and indicated in the several views of the drawings by thesame reference-characters.

The primary object of the improvement is to utilize paper in theconstruction of neckscarfs, the said paper being variously colored,ornamented, and nished according to the tast-e of the manufacturer andthe caprice of the trade. The paper, if preferred, may be backed bycotton or other textile fabric to impart strength thereto, or any sheetmaterial suitable for the purpose and possessing suihcient stiffnessmaybe used in the manufacture of the neckwear.

The blank or pattern comprises a body and a cross-piece 2 at one end ofthe body, said cross-piece projecting to unequal distances from thesides of the body and forming the head of the necktie when properlyfolded, as shown in Figs. l and 2. The body l may have any outline,according to the shape and style of the neckscarf, and may be a singlepiece, as shown in Figs. l and 8, or divided, as shown in Fig. 2, thelatter giving the effect of loose end portions. The cross-piece 2 isadapted to be folded about on v the lines indicated at a a, l) l1, and cc, forming the end liaps 3 and G and the intermediate parts 4 and 5, thelatter constituting, respectively, the front and the rear pieces of thehead,which is usually termed the knot.

The end flap 6 isadapted to fold into the space formed between theVfront and rear pieces, and the opposite end flapS is adapted to foldinto the space formed between the rear piece 5 and the end flap G, thetwo flaps S and G being secured together at or near their meetingcorners in any suitable way, so as to hold the parts in position.

The precise manner of securing the parts is immaterial to the essence ofthe invention so long as they are fastened and held from coming open. Apaper fastener or wire staple will be employed for securing the parts atthe desired point. The strip 7, forming the neckband, is secured to thelower corner of the rear piece 5, so as to assume a positionv at onecorner of the head or knot when the cross-piece 2 is folded, as shown inFigs. l and 2, and a spur or point 8 is applied to the lower edge of thepart 5 to secure the loose end of the neckband after the latter has beenpassed around the neck and engaged with the knot in the usual way. Theoutline of the cross-piece 2 will depend upon the style of theneckscarf, but one end portion will project beyond an edge of thenecktie to a greater distance than the other to form the parts 5 and G.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- Aneckscarf constructed of a blank comprising a body and a cross-piece atthe upper end of the body and integral therewith, the cross-piece havingits ends projecting to unequal distances beyond the edges of the body,providing end flaps 3 and 6 and intermediate IOO front and rear pieces 4and 5, respectively, In testimony that I Claim the foregoing as foldedon the lines substantially as shown, myown I have-hereto affixed mysignature in the end flap 6 folding downwardly into the the presence oftwo witnesses.
